Abdul El-Sayed speaking to supporters last nightOh boy, that was not supposed to be that close! With over 95 percent of the vote counted, Abdul El-Sayed maintains almost a 20,000-vote lead, and will be the nominee for Michigan’s US Senate race. But what if it’s a lot simpler than that, and many people really are still largely voting for who they really really really believe will fight FOR THEM? For instance, she did really well with Black voters in big city Detroit, whereas El-Sayed really cleaned up in mid-sized cities and college towns. Admittedly, that doesn’t set up as clean of a divide as “Bernie vs. Hillary” or “progressive vs. centrist,” so it’s probably no fun for the horse race media.
